[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're wrong. Graduating doesn't mean anything if your degree is in sociology or gender studies. Upper-middle class White/Asian kids dominate the high-paying majors at Ivies (CS, Econ, Math, Engineering). Plus most rodeo kids didn't do so well in corporate recruiting due to their lower GPAs and weaker class schedules.

OK, maybe you are right.  You have provided unimpeachable proof the ivies graduate imbeciles.  Mea Culpa.[/quote]
It’s not just Ivies. Harvard graduated everyone. But many other schools are also difficult for rodeo girl. [/quote]

Graduation rates for recipients of Pell grants vs. others at a few non-Ivy schools. Not seeing anything here that makes me think poor kids shouldn't attend high-ranked schools.

Williams
Pell--84% in 4 years, 94% in 6 years
no Pell--89%, 95%

Rice
Pell--76%, 89%
non--85%, 93%

UCLA
Pell--74%, 89%
non--83%, 91%

Wesleyan
Pell--86%, 90%
non--88%, 92%

UVA
Pell--84%, 93%
non--91%, 95%[/quote]

Again, graduation rates don't mean anything. Everyone graduates, even the dumb jocks. It's major and GPA that counts. [/quote]

DP.  Again, you are wrong.  This is the data.  It does not lie.  And it shows extremely similar success between the classes.

So here’s some more data:

You - 100% proved wrong by data.[/quote]
